Description: It was a tough pill for Tony to swallow when he watched Peter fade into dust in his arms. His son pleaded to him to not let him go. Poor Peter didn't want to die. But clearly fate had its own decision. Until it's time to reverse everything.

A/N: I was told that I was a unique idea how I had them escape the soul stone so I decided to do a chapter about how it happened on the inside. Enjoy!

Peter couldn't help but stare at the ominous purple portal that just seemed to call his name. He could quietly overhear the others talking behind him but everything just sounded faint to him.

"Peter are you listening?" Dr. Strange asked knowing how the boy was standing still off to the side.

That was completely ignored as a silent decision was made by the kid. All he had to do was touch it....

"PETER NO!" Wanda yelled but was quickly shut down by him very suddenly disappearing and a purple lock showing up where the portal once was.

"SHIT!" Bucky yelled running over to the lock and punching it only to be thrown back into Sam.

"It's no use. He's made his decision. We can only pray he'll make it out okay" Loki sighed shaking his head.

"But the soul stone is one of the most unstable. He could easily die in there!" Quill stressed running a hand through his hair.

"Well there's no helping him now. We just have to follow in his footsteps" Dr. Strange told the group but holding a firm gaze on be purple lock. Saying his own prayer that the kid will make it out of there.

*****

Peter opened his eyes only to find himself strapped to a wall by his waist and on a grey pair of joggers but no top. Everything was very hazy and had a purple hue. Everything was silent that you could hear pin drop.

"You've really messed up now Spider. Look at the situation you've gotten yourself and your dear old dad into" the voice of Adrian Toomes hissed making Peter jump.

In front of him a light came on revealing Tony Stark himself tied to a chair and heavily bleeding.

"DAD!" Peter yelled but as soon as that happened a restraint was put over his mouth and no matter how hard Peter rugged he couldn't get it off.

"Now now Petey. You wouldn't want one of us to pull this out now would you?" Another voice that belonged to Norman Osborne cackled as two hands seemingly made of shadows came out of nowhere and tapped at the arc reactor which made Tony yelp.

Peter started yelling under the restraint as he tried to reach out for his dad who just shook his head and gave him a smile.

"It's okay Pete. Just make sure you get out of here okay?" Tony chuckled pitifully before letting his head slump.

Anger quickly built up in the teens chest as he saw the hands start pulling out the arc reactor. Tears flowed down Peter's face as the trusty arc started to loosen from its place.

"No. I'm stronger than you! Leave my dad alone!" Peter yelled in his head before lifting his hands up to his face, and very forcefully pulled to restraint off his face with a loud yell.

"PETER STOP YOU'RE GOING TO GET YOURSELF KILLED!" Tony cried from his seat as the arc reactor was put back into its place.

"NO! WE'RE BOTH GOING TO GET OUT OF HERE! WE'RE LEAVING THIS PLACE TOGETHER WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT!" Peter screamed before pulling off the chain around his waist and running towards his dad.

Just as the teen reached out to grab onto his dad, Tony disappeared into thin air making Peter fall to the almost non-existent ground.

Peter looked around frantically trying to find his dad when he found himself falling.

A scream erupted from Peter's throat and he was cut and hit by many different things making many cuts and bruises appear all over his body.

With a loud grunt Peter hit the ground only to find a gun sitting right in front of his face. Peter quickly grabbed ahold of the weapon and standing up finding another scene he didn't want to find.

Both Tony and Aunt May were being held down by Adrian and Norman with guns held against their temples.

"You pass this trial Pedro and we'll let you all go" Adrian cackled as he pushed Tony down earning a hiss of pain.

"What do you want?" Peter asked as he held one of his eyes shut in pain.

"Choose which one dies" Adrian and Norman said at once making a very tense atmosphere appear.

"Peter kill me it's okay. I already know you're a strong boy. Tony will keep you safe for me" May said giving a weak smile.

"No Peter kill me. I've caused way to much trouble in this world. Tony Stark isn't needed anymore" Tony argued shaking his head slightly.

"But I don't want to lose either of you" Peter cried as his bottom lip trembled and tears came back into his eyes.

"We both know you'll make the right decision. You'll be okay" Tony told him giving a weak smile.

"NO! I won't be okay without either of you. May, you've been the best person in the world and raised me for practically my entire life. You're still my aunt and I can't live without you. I know you gave over custody of me over to Tony but you did it for a good reason. You knew it would be safer for me to be me with a bunch of other superheroes. But you still come a visit me all the time" Peter ranted as tears fell form his eyes.

"Oh Peter..." May sighed with a small chuckles that came out more like a cry.

"And you Tony. You welcomed me with open arms into your home with all the other Avengers. I know this was all supposed to work out where I was just an intern but it turned out to be more than that. You make me so happy all the time and I just love to watch your face light up when I call you dad and you can call me son. I love working down in the lab with you or just simply laying around. So no. I can't live without either of you. I've already lost too much" Peter started to sob into his hand as he furiously wiped his tears.

"So what are you going to do?" Norman asked cocking the gun.

"I'm gonna make sure both of them live" Peter hissed looking at the two with bright red eyes.

"How? Someone's gonna have to die. The second one is dead the other two can leave?" Adrian asked with a smirk.

"Just like this..." Peter sighed before lifting the gun up to his own head and pulling the trigger.

Everything disappeared around Peter and he found himself just seemingly standing among the stars. His IronSpider suit was back on and everything was quiet.

A purple light caught Peter's eye making him look up. Peter put his hand out just as it got close enough and the purple light turned into a gem.

The Power Stone.

"Congratulations. You've passed the test. You are now the holder of this Infinity Stone. Use it wisely" a warm voice said calmly making Peter smile.

Everything around him started to crack as he prepared for what was about to come.

*****

Thanos looked down at his gauntlet and was surprised to find the power stone cracking. A gasp escaped the Titans mouth as it exploded and he was greeted by a punch to the face sending him backwards.

Peter stood with a powerful stance as he face the mad Titan who was getting back up off the ground. A purple aura was surrounding the boy making him look extremely powerful.

"The pest" Thanos growled trying not to seem intimidated.

"Oh you're dead now Thanos. One hit and bet you're dead" Peter hissed making a purple fire appear on his fist.

"Oh please, you couldn't hurt anyone even if you tried" Thanos laughed giving a smirk.

"You wanna bet?" Peter asked tilting his head to the side.

Before Thanos could even reply, Peter punches him hard in the gut towards the ground creating a large crater.

Peter stood back up seeing the glossy look over the Titans eyes, and no breaths or even moving. The bright purple aura retreated into Peter's eyes creating a purple ring around the brown.

Peter let out a small sigh realised he had just killed the mad Titan. A small twinge of guilt came over him since he took a life away but the rage was too much to handle.

Peter looked back down at the gauntlet sitting on the Titans dead hand in time to see some of the other stones start to crack. Peter quickly took a step back in time for them all to explode.

Peter had closed his eyes for a spilt second and was surprised by what he saw.

Bucky Barnes glowing bright red.
Wanda Maximoff glowing yellow.
Stephen Strange glowing green.
Loki Laufeyson glowing blue.

They all stood in battle stance but were surprised to find themselves standing in a huge crater over the clearly dead body of Thanos.

"What happened?" Bucky asked looking around but surprised to only find Peter.

"I think we've inherited the abilities of the stones. Like we've become them" Peter told the group as he watched their auras become a part of their eyes.

"How do we break the soul stone to free everyone?" Wanda asked looking down at the one stone left on the gauntlet.

"You think you could break it Peter?" Loki asked looking towards the teen who already had a bright purple flame over his hand already shocking the group.

Peter could already control it?

Peter stepped forwards making everyone take a few steps back. He lifted his arm up high creating an even larger flame which burned bright. Peter took a breath before swinging his arm down and using all his might to hit the soul stone.

Peter could feel it begin to crack under his fist and let out a gasp when it exploded under his fist making him fly backwards.

The group quickly ran over to help Peter up who sadly had dislocated his shoulder when he hit the edge of he crater.

Many white lights flew up and into the vast edges of the universe above them. Peter hoped that they would reappear either where they disappeared, somewhere safe, or near someone they love.

But to their surprise three of the lights stayed close. The small group looked down and were shocked to find Gamora laying on the ground just looking up. She had an orange ring around her eyes and a peaceful look on her face.

Then just like how they disappeared, Quill, Drax, and Mantis all appeared next to Gamora who slowly stood up and embraced the three near them.

"Well we won. Where to now?" Strange asked looking around.

"Wakanda. That's where they'll be" Peter said a-matter-of-factly.

"Alright lets go" Loki nodded and made a portal to Wakanda and everyone stepped through.

Well Peter fell through.

*****

Tony was sitting in the field with Steve as they held hands just looking out to the vast lands in front of them. Over the while that they've been together, their relationship had been reformed and they were finally proper husbands again. But they were missing one thing.

Their son.

They had a small amount of ashes that was kept in a fancy bowl with a lid so none would be lost. Small specs of red and blue could be seen in the mess but none the less it was there.

"How do you think we'll ever get Peter back if we don't even know where Thanos is?" Steve asked as he gave Tony's hand a small squeeze.

Tony looked over giving Steve's freshly shaven face a small kiss before squeezing his hand back.

"We'll find a way. We just need to keep whatever hope we have left alive" Tony sighed turning over to hold Steve in his arms to try and comfort him.

"I just miss Peter. And Bucky. And everyone we lost. Nobody deserved what was given to them" Steve mumbled moving to hold onto Tony.

"No they didn't. But we're going to fix it!" Tony said giving him the best reassuring smile he could.

Steve was about to say something else when he noticed something out in the field. Steve quickly pulled Tony up with him and started running towards what he saw.

Tony was confused at first but then caught sight of the blue portal. The same damn portal that Thanos had come through. So he quickly double tapped his fixed suit and started to fly towards the portal.

"We've got trouble. Thanos's portal has been spotted in the east fields. Come quick" Steve ordered into the coms everyone was told to keep on them since they started staying in Wakanda.

"Coming now Steve" Natasha replied making Steve put his focus back on the portal.

Steve and Tony both stood in defensive positions when a scream started coming from the portal. Which made them both stop.

What the hell?

Suddenly a figure came flying out of the portal and hitting the grass hard. Even skidding a bit!
But that when they got a good look at the suit.

Red and blue metal.

It can't be..,

Shaggy brown hair.

There's absolutely no way....

"Ow that hurts"..

That sounds like...

"Peter?" Tony asks unsure landing next to Steve after his suit disappeared. They both linked their hands together as the teen looked up at the mention of his name.

"Dad? Pops?" Peter questioned his head titled yet pounding just like his shoulder which had been put back into place when he fell out of the portal.

"Peter are you okay?" Bucky asked as he came bolting out of the portal.

"Yeah I'm okay. My shoulder popped back into place" Peter joked rubbing the back of his head.

"Peter you must be careful when doing stuff like that!" Loki scolded with a small sigh.

"How? What?" Tony asked quietly making he small group look at them again.

Steve was practically holding Tony who looked so pale like he was about to faint. Seeing Tony like this, Peter quickly stood up from his spot and ran over to hold onto his father.

"Whoa! Dad don't go fainting on Pops and I now" Peter chuckled with small tears flowing into his eyes.

"Give your dad a break Pete. He's had a long day" Steve added beaming down at Peter who beamed right back.

"Brother?" Thor questioned as he landed on the ground with the others following closely behind.

"Took you long enough you big oaf" Loki smirked before pulling his brother towards him and holding him close.

"Oh thank Odin you're alive" Thor whispered holding his brother equally as hard.

"Wanda!" Pietro yelled speeding over and spinning his sister around furiously.

"Pietro! Oh how I missed you" Wanda cheered pulling him close.

"Good to see you kid" Clint said placing a hand on both of their shoulders before pulling them both into his embrace.

"Oh you assholes" Rocket sighed walking casually over to the others but with a smile on his face.

"Good to see you too trash Panda" Quill retorted with a smirk before pulling Rocket towards them and letting him join their group.

"Strange you are so dead!" Wong yelled as he stormed over, but having a bright smile on his face.

"Sorry Wong. But I technically kept it safe since I am the stone now" Strange told his friend simply which made the latter laugh.

"You never cease to amaze me" Wong sighed shaking his head and giving Strange a small hug. Which he was surprised to have returned.

"C'mere Barnes" Tony told the man who stood awkwardly off to the side of all the reunions.

"You sure Stark? Not gonna blow off my arm again?" Bucky chuckled which was quickly returned.

"It's good to have you back brother" Steve said holding Bucky close to his small family.

"You too brother" Bucky returned before looking at Peter who was happily snuggled close to his parents.

"I missed you guys. Please let's just try and be a normal family now" Peter suggested only earning a few chuckles.

"Sorry Pete. But with our family I'm not sure if that's ever going to be possible" Steve said getting a small groan in return.

"There's no way in hell kiddo. Your dad's won't let you have a normal life" Tony piped up only making Peter groan louder.

"Fine. But let's just go home okay" Peter mumbled as he slowly became exhausted.

"Okay little power stone. You look exhausted so take a nap Kay?" Bucky told the kid seeing him slowly falling asleep.

Peter hummed in reply before letting himself slowly drift off. Held in his family's embrace. Standing up.. because why not? But he was happy. He was home. And he was finally safe. He could sleep peacefully again.

"Little power stone?"

"I'll tell you later!"
